Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Poll Result: Authors Choice - Become Devil

The result of the poll was leaving it up to my choice(thank you for your faith in me by the way) and I have decided on Becoming a Devil because it was both what the most people were leaning toward and because it seems like the most logical and interesting way to progress the story.

No, Takumi is not becoming a slave. Have some faith in him. Do you really think Takumi would let himself fall into such a disadvantageous position?

Takumi is always a man with a plan. Even if he were to fall into such a bad position you bet your bottom he will find a way to crawl out of it.

Soon, the underworld will learn what kind of monster they have unleashed into their realm.

Also I do not want any complaints, I put up a poll for a reason. You guys chose this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting Asia was not too big of an event for me. It is an easy get in get out deal.

Oh, wait. Scratch that. Because guess what?

I am a fucking idiot.

Why such harsh judgment you may ask? 

Well, it is simple.

I don't fucking know Italian.

It slipped my mind that Asia was Italian because of the devil magic Issei had when interacting with her causing him to interpret her words as Japanese.

So... uh... what the fuck do I do?

Do I just have the fallen translate for me? That is vastly inconvenient. Shit.

Fuck it, just swallow your pride Takumi. 

I pulled out my phone and dialled Azazel's number.

{"Hm? Takumi-kun? What's up?"} I rapped my foot against the ground while scratching the back of my head out of nervousness, I screwed up. I feel like such a failure.

"Heyyy, Azazel, I know this is a bit sudden but please tell me you have some sort of item that acts sort of like the translation powers you guys have." After a few moments of silence, Azazel replied.

{"Yes, we do. It would be quite inconvenient for our human agents to not be able to communicate with each other after all. Why do you ask?"}

"Uh, I dun goofed. I forgot that I don't have a translator built into my genes like you guys. Any chance I could get a hold of one of those translators you have?" I heard Azazel chuckle.

{"Haha, don't worry, I can get you one, it's a freebie, it's not like they are worth all that much."} I sighed in relief but annoyance nagged at me.

I am a (soon-to-be)master of alchemy, I shouldn't struggle with such trivial things such as racial difference. Alchemy should be able to triumph over such basic troubles.

But I thanked Azazel anyway and hung up, my mind was still hung up on a bigger problem this situation was compounded in.

Humans suck.

I was facing a slight wall. It felt like my stats were slowly starting to reach a slow cap. It seems like the average human's stats do not go up much more than 50. And it does not help that they are naturally weaker at basically anything compared to the other races.

Boosting helps me improve a ton but it has its limits.

So, do I become a Devil? 

I don't know. I am not exactly fiending for Devil magic and other than that they are middling compared to the other races with the exception of their bloodline powers which I obviously do not have access to... yet.

Fallen Angels just seems to overall be the best choice. Natural holy element manipulation, resistances, no glaring weakness to anything holy, etc. 

But I am very reluctant to choose a race for a good reason.

I am too valuable. It is a fact I am very aware of, the Red Dragon Emperor is very important. An Alchemist is incredibly important. A Red Alchemist Dragon Emperor is; change a cold war to a hot war important.

Once the Devils get me, the one I have to worry about is not Rias. It is the hundreds of Devil nobles that will be watching me closely, trying to limit or sabotage me to their own benefit. It is the old terrorist faction that will definitely be on my tail if I join the new Satans and vice versa.

And considering that mess...

Psh, I can do better.

I mean, I can create homunculi, what says I can't make my body beyond human? I just have to look into biology manipulation is all. 

Wait, wasn't there a stray devil here that was mutated beyond recognition? I should subdue them and take them as a test subject if it hasn't been dealt with yet. As I was entertaining such thoughts a box arrived in the magic circle I drew in one corner of my living room to receive deliveries.

Grabbing the black ring from the box I slipped it on my finger and headed out to Asia, it was about time anyway. 

It did not take me long to reach there, a casual jog for me was already 20mph, I arrived in front of the bus station near the abandoned church and saw her standing there.

A beautiful young girl with long blonde hair reaching her waist and emerald green eyes full of life. She wore a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wore a silver cross necklace around her neck. Even her conservative clothes failed to hide her attractive figure.

I approached her raising my hand, making her jump slightly and turn to me with a smile that almost radiated light.

"Hey, Asia Argento right? I am here to pick you up, for reasons Raynare won't be able to host you so I will be doing it in her stead." Hearing my words Asia's smile widened as she bowed to me.

"A-ah yes! Thank you for taking care of me. Also, can I ask what your name is?"

Wow, she is so cute and innocent. Not an ounce of suspicion or questioning. God, it makes me want to pinch her cheeks and corrupt her.

"It's Takumi Katsuragi, you can just call me Takumi. Here let me help you with that Asia." 

"Thank you very much-!" As I reached for her suitcase Asia tried bowing again but somehow she tripped. 

On nothing, either this girl wasn't born with a sense of balance or she is the one Issei stole his absurd luck from.

Tripping on thin air Asia started falling down and without thinking I darted and grabbed her, stopping her from falling down by wrapping my arms around her. 

"Nooo..." This however led to the suitcase in her hands falling down and bursting open, sending clothes flying out of it, and most of the clothes fell into a dirty puddle. 

...What the fuck?

I mean how the fuck? Why the fuck? When the fuck? What the fuck? Where the fuck?

How can someone be this absurdly unlucky? Like fucking Christ, it's like the perverted laws of the world are working against her. This amount of luck shouldn't be feasible.

Doubly so considering that somehow I grabbed her by the ass.

It feels very soft and plump. Her ass is bigger than I expected. Without thinking I gave it a good squeeze before releasing Aisa who looked red-faced and despaired at the fact that most of the clothes were now dirty. 

I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Asia, let's gather them back, my maids will clean them for you when we are back in my house alright?" I shot her a smile which made her blush as she nodded fiercely.

"Y-yes! Thank you very much!" Man, she is adorable, isn't she?

It took us a minute or two to gather the dirty clothes and shove them in the case, I must say, Asia's choice of underwear is adorable.

After having gathered them we started walking back to my house. Of course, I tried my best to help her around Kuoh, I wasn't exactly in a hurry at the moment and had been doing nothing but grinding for the past few days. I think I can afford to have a nice date with a cute girl every now and then.

I showed her around the place, notable landmarks such as the park, mall etc. Of course, I had to translate for her since you know, Italian and all.

...It was rather embarrassing that I was learning as much as her during this walk since I hadn't been to any shop besides resource gathering and my one date with Rias.

Well, good news, I managed to find an incredibly good pizza place which Asia liked too, though I had to spend a bit of time teaching her how to actually eat pizza. This girl was more sheltered than a bunker.

I was a bit worried that she might have been a bit critical of the pizza since she had Italian in her DNA, but I was worried for nothing.

Eventually, we reached my humble domain, which I am starting to realise is a tad too small for what was going on. As we entered I saw Mittelt who was wiping the table, upon noticing us arrive she flinched and greeted us.

"W-welcome back Takumi-sama." I nodded to her and gestured to the stunned Asia standing behind me.

"Mittelt, this is Asia, she is my guest. If she needs something do it. Oh, and take this suitcase and wash the clothes inside." I handed the case to Mittely who nodded to me curtly before scampering off like a scamper.

"W-wow, amazing Takumi-san, you have maids? But why is the miss fallen angel now your maid?" Asia looked at amazement around my rather humble home which I guess would be impressive for someone who lived in a church their whole life.

"Don't worry about it, they just did something they weren't supposed to and now are paying the price for it. Now, do you want to use the bath? I imagine you would like to clean yourself and relax after such a busy day. Up the stairs, it's the door on the right."

"A-ah yes! Thank you for letting me borrow your shower Takumi-san!" Bowing to me again Asia hurriedly left for the bathroom while I went down the stairs and decided to mock up some designs while Asia took her bath. But as I was scribbling some designs I heard Asia call out to me.

"T-Takumi-san. Could you come here for a second please!?" Wondering what act the universe decided to pull on Asia this time I went up to the bathroom to see Asia nervously peeking her head out of the door.

"U-um, I accidentally forgot that I don't have any other clothes since they got dirty. Do you have any spare clothing Takumi-san, I am very sorry for being so clumsy." Hearing the scared Asia ramble on I chuckled and patted her head. 

"Don't worry Asia, I won't be angry at you for just making a simple mistake. Besides, I am fine with you being clumsy, it's just a part of your charm. Give me a second I will handle your clothes now." Hearing my words Asia blushed nuclearly and hung her head down as I chuckled again and headed to my basement.

I had a spare set of clothes here or three. Of course, none of them would fit Asia's smaller body. But I was a man of many talents as I grabbed a large white shirt of mine and then threw a bundle of silk on the transmutation circle, turning it into panties that would probably fit Asia since they were really stretchy.

Of course, I put my own design on the panties. Being a really sheer pair of sexy white lace panties. 

Huh, making clothes is oddly fun, I should try making more, maybe even making my own clothing line. Making sexy costumes also sounds nice, I should get around to making my Homunculi so they can handle things like that.

Shaking my head I headed up the stairs with the clothes and handed them to Asia from the gap in the door as she made a noise of confusion and surprise but her timid nature made her offer no complaints as she wore them and headed out of the bathroom giving me a good look at her.

"Wow~ Takumi-san, this is very soft!" Asia said as she raised the shirt and rubbed her face on it as I gulped.

I saw Asia's moist skin just out of the bath, her pulling the shirt up exposed her all the way up to her midriff, showing off her fine body, the sheer lace panties showed off a decent size of her sacred place as well.

Fuck, I need her. 

...Why did I think making an elixir that boosts the libido of a teenage boy as a side effect is a good idea?

As I was stunned silent Asia looked at me in curiosity.

"By the way, Takumi-sama, can I ask where I am going to sleep?"

Oh yeah, where was she going to sleep?

My house is cramped as fuck. Hell, I don't even know where the fallen sleep, I think they use the guest room or something. Man, my house really needs an upgrade. Anyway, my bed still exists.

"Oh, you are going to be sleeping with me since there isn't too much room."

"Ehhh-! Is that okay? If you want me to I can sleep on the floor." Such a good girl, makes me want to corrupt her even more.

"Don't worry about it Asia. You don't have any complaints right?" Blushing madly Asia shook her head as I nodded and brought her to my room. The bed was barely big enough for two people but that's fine, I am willing to cuddle.

I laid down first, I would normally remove my clothes but the tent I was pitching refused the sentiment. While I am not embarrassed I don't want to rush it and ruin it. You don't want to devour a Wagyu in two bites, you need to savour it.

Asia, with a bit of reluctance laid down next to me, without much room our bodies made contact, her body was very soft, making me nod wisely at my decisions, it was worth it even though it was taking every bit of self-restraint for me to not push her down right now. 

"Sorry if it's a bit cramped." I said making Asia panickedly wave her hands in denial.

"No no, it isn't a problem! I am happy to even sleep in a bed, thank you very much Takumi-san! Good night!" 

"Good night Asia." Seeing Asia try to overcome the embarrassment by trying to change the subject I obliged.

Besides, I needed the sleep.

The moment I let my body relax I was knocked out like a log.

A/N: Asia is fun, I like her. What do you guys think about her? I personally like how malleable she is, besides, I don't know about you but I am a sucker for corruption. But don't worry about the effect it has on Asia, the girl self corrupts herself the moment she reads a porn mag.

Also for all of Takumi's genius, even simple details can slip his mind and he can overlook crucial details. He is only human after all.

...Rather funny that this chapter is one where Takumi is talking about not wanting to become a devil.

What did you guys think about the chapter? I would love to know. Your comments help motivate me so they are always welcome.
